The Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd amendment applies to individual citizens. But how does that affect you? How does it affect the lives of your and your children? Who is packing a pistol? Should you be carrying one too? What you should know before you step out your front door.

If you are anti-guns, or afraid of guns, or just don't like them and don't want them in your house, then this blog is for you.(It might just change your mind)

Piers Morgan, CNN's most-outspoken and impolite gun control advocate,
got a much-needed education about the Second Amendment and firearms
Tuesday.

In the middle of a lengthy and uncharacteristically civil interview on Piers Morgan Tonight, former Marine Joshua Boston [put him in his place.]

PIERS MORGAN, HOST: If everybody exercises that choice and is legally
allowed to do so, you could end up with every movie theater and every
school and every church and every shopping mall in America with
everybody armed with an AR-15 assault rifle and magazines that could
kill 100 people in a minute. Where does that lead America to other than
utter Wild West hell?

JOSHUA BOSTON, FORMER MARINE: All right, they said this was going to
happen whenever Texas instituted its concealed handgun laws, and it
hasn't happened. In the Clackamas mall shooting there was a 22-year-old
carrying a concealed weapon, and he presented his weapon at the threat,
and he held his fire just like happened at Congresswoman Giffords'
shooting. There was a CHL holder there, and he held his fire.The American people aren't as gun-happy and
trigger-happy as they're being painted out to be by the media. They are
smarter than that. They know when to hold their fire. They know when to
fire. And we can increase the chances of success for these people that
get caught in these situations for their survival by education. We've
got to stop making this a taboo subject to everyone because it's scary.
We can't give up our rights because we're afraid.

MORGAN: Well, I would say the only thing I would say to that is I
believe the rights of a six or seven-year-old child to go to school
without the fear of being murdered, to me, exceed and come higher than
any rights to own an AR-15 assault rifle. That's my point.

BOSTON: Well, Piers, I don't disagree with you. I don't think children
should have to be going to school worry about being murdered. But we
have to accept reality. No matter what laws we pass, Lord knows we have
laws, and during the last assault weapons ban, it didn't stop Columbine
from happening. It didn't stop the West Hollywood shoot-out from
happening. These things happen. There are criminals in our world that we
have to contend with. And disarming people and taking the AR-15s out of
their homes isn’t going to help.
There was a lady in Georgia who shot a man six times. He laid down,
cried, got up and left. Now, imagine if there were multiple attackers.
She only had six bullets in her pistol. If there were more than one
attacker, she could not be alive today.

Indeed.

Unfortunately, such instances of Americans successfully defending
themselves and their property with guns go largely unreported by a media
hellbent on tighter firearms restrictions.

By contrast, incidents like Sandy Hook and Aurora get wall-to-wall
coverage for days with people such as Morgan screaming for guns to be
outlawed.

But when some armed citizen bravely thwarts an attack by criminals -
which happens far more often than mass murders in our country! - all we
hear are crickets.

EDITORS NOTE: Because it does not serve the MSM's political agenda to report that news. They are not news sources anymore - only political rhetoric machines.

True Hoplophobia, or the fear of guns, is a mental illness which, like other true phobias, incapacitates its victims with anxiety, shortness of breath, inability to think clearly and rationally. Obviously, we who are fearful of guns and their destructive power don't have true Hoplophobia. But we are still afraid. Why?

PRO GUN QUOTES

Gun control:The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound. - L. Neil Smith

Gun control has not worked in D.C. The only people who have guns are criminals. We have the strictest gun laws in the nation and one of the highest murder rates. It's quicker to pull your Smith and Wesson than to dial 911 if you're being robbed. - Lieutenant Lowell Duckett, President Black Police Caucus, Special Assistant to Washington, D.C. Police Chief

They have gun control in Cuba. They have universal health care in Cuba. So why do they want to come here? - Paul Harvey, 1994

Suppose the Second amendment said A well-educated electorate being necessary for self-governance in a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed. Is there anyone who would suggest that means only registered voters have a right to read? - Robert Levy, Georgetown University Professor

We should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word. - Senator Bennett (R-UT), Congressional Record, 5/16/68

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President of the United States

PRO GUN CONTROL QUOTES

For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments.- James Brady

The most effective means of fighting crime in the United States is to outlaw the possession of any type of firearm by the civilian populace.- Janet Reno

We need to stand firm on behalf of sensible gun control legislation. We have to enact laws that will keep guns out of the hand of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced persons.- Hillary Clinton

Without stronger, sensible gun laws, thousands upon thousands of people will continue to die and be injured needlessly each year.- Brady Campaign

We don't need any additional gun laws, we need to enforce the ones that we've got!- Anonymous

One third of all households with children younger than eighteen have a firearm-Brady Campaign

If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out-right ban, picking up every one of them... 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here.-Senator Dianne Feinstein

This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!- Adolph Hitler
